these objects are way far away from Elenin's coma.

Can it be determined how far away they are? This is interesting. Flagging this and hopefully Phage or somebody will comment.

These objects are too far from, and too inconsistent to be traveling WITH Elenin.

There are a metric ass-ton of objects in space. Just because two things move in the same length of time does not mean they are related.

Now, when you look later, and realize that the object you originally saw with Elenin no longer appears, it is safe to assume that it was another body
and has moved out of the field of vision.

Look at ANY pictures of space, you'll see plenty of bodies that move within the same images.

I'm not claiming to know exactly what these objects are, I'm sure if you wanted to spend some time on the JPL small bodies site you could match up
the dates and times with other small bodies in the sky.
